Abdul-Malik Al-Ejri, a member of the Yemeni negotiating delegation, affirmed on Friday that the Arab Republic of Egypt represents the “backbone of the Arab nation,” emphasizing the centrality of its role in the current Arab resurgence.
In a post on the “X” platform titled “A Word Also Regarding Egypt,” Al-Ejri explained that “if Egypt rises, the Arabs rise, and if she falls ill, the Arabs fall ill.”
وكلمة ايضا في حق مصر ،، مصر إذا نهضت نهض العرب وإذا مرضت مرض العرب،ولعودة الحضور العربي لا بد من عودة الدور الريادي لمصر فالدول التي لا تملك غير المال ليست مؤهلة حتى لقيادة فريق كرة قدم ناجح .

He maintained that the restoration of an Arab presence on the international stage is closely linked to the return of Egypt’s pioneering role.
In a significant context, the member of the Yemeni negotiating delegation pointed out that “countries that possess nothing but money are not even qualified to lead a successful football team”__ observers viewed this as a reference to the Gulf states__, asserting that leadership and regional influence transcend purely material capabilities.
